S3E15.5 - Stalker (1979) PREVIEW

Stargate Oversight

Preview of bonus episode available on the $3.50 tier of the Patreon

After the mess that was one of the worst episodes of the series, we decompressed a little by watching a nice and easily digestable film. Nah, just kidding. We watched Stalker, the 1979 film adaptation of the Strugatsky novel Roadside Picnic. Hey, it's a good movie. Sierra wants to explore cinema from more countries, so where better to pick than one that no longer exists. We should watch more Soviet films. They were cooking something there. At least you'd hope so considering how long those bread lines were.
Today we learn that the Russian man longs to run away from his family, his nagging wife, and artistically sepia toned life to hang out with a bunch of dudes in a field in Estonia. Join the apparently three sexiest men in the Soviet Union, who all look like your weird balding uncle, go increasingly more insane as they crawl through sewer pipes and get every kind of cancer filming near an Estonian chemical plant. Woke Hollywood would never kill their actors for art. Don't look up the John Wayne Genghis Khan movie.
Obey the will of the Zone. Respect the Zone. Follow the instructions of the Stalker. Above all else, remember that the person who told you to play on Master difficulty because it's actually easier was spreading Imperialist Western propaganda to stop you reaching your true desires in The Room. Can a Russian leave the Zone? I don't know, but they sure as hell better fucking leave Ukraine already.
